An Online Memorial---A Life Long Memory!!

Willowise was founded by Brock and Esther Sheets. Brock’s dad, David, passed away unexpectedly due to Covid in early 2021. As the Sheets family was processing through this sudden loss, we decided a virtual memorial service was going to be the most effective way to honor David’s life and legacy. Having lived & served as a pastor in 11 different churches across 5 states, David’s “community” was spread out across the entire US. Travel to a single memorial service location simply wasn’t possible for all who loved David and called him friend. 
Brock has spent 9+ years marketing, guiding the website design, producing webinars, hosting virtual meetings, and delivering virtual education for a professional defense association in Washington, DC. Esther has a gift of empathy and caring that is unmatched. She is able to uniquely connect with families & care for them in their grief. This combined experience was perfectly suited to create a beautiful tribute website and a moving memorial service for David with over 500 people in attendance.  
Since then, Willowise has gone on to help thousands of satisfied people in their own seasons of loss. We combine user-friendly technology platforms, professional project management, and unmatched empathy to create a powerful and moving memorial experience for you and your loved-ones.

Steph has been working in the elder care industry for about 15 years now, starting out as an activity assistant at a local assisted living community, and then moving on to her local Area Agency on Aging for nearly a decade. There she focused on educating community members, especially caregivers, through marketing, planning, and communication.
In March of 2023, her dad was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s – with that and feeling the need to explore her calling as a death doula – she took a leap of faith and started her own marketing business with a goal to be able to allow flexibility to help support her dad (and mom) and start diving into deathcare.
